The Datapaq Insight Basic software enables thermal processes analysis. A range of thermal barriers and data loggers that record temperature profiles while inside the furnace or kiln also are available. The software features a contour plot function that generates heat maps of 2D products, allowing line operators to pinpoint hot and cold spots and identify possible causes, such as faulty burners. A quartz index analysis function allows for close monitoring of heating and cooling rates across the quartz inversion zone. Users can set alarms for time at temperature and slopes. A process file template gathers all process and oven parameters.
